Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Graceroad]

One piece  of info I gained yesterday at the ground from a very reliable source is that Nico and Claude don't get on and that Nico was very unhappy that Tim Boon didn't get the director of Cricket role

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

With the way the runs have been scored we could potentially be 150 in front by close of play this evening leaving an interesting last day especially if the pitch is turning 

[LBTufty]

Interesting that now both Potts (Durham), who's already had a chuck this morning, and Rehan have been released from the England squad for tomorrow's test, they're both available for selection in the current game - assuming we remembered to name Rehan as a possible substitute under rule 1.3:

Think we did for Budinger

[Sunbury Fox]

Blimey, just seen the final score. What a bad day! Losing our last 6 wickets for around 76 runs followed by the bowlers getting totally battered again. 

[Father Ted]

Going to be a good day of digging in deep today. Done it successfully a few times already this season in the CC. Seems to be a good track so it’ll be interesting to see if Durham might just declare at the start of play

[Collymore]

We're allowing T20 blast scoring! Leicestershire really are hard to predict. When you think they're the pits and can't get any lower they do!

 

Then they turn up the next week and put in a sensational one off performance that's usually followed by more rubbish! 

 

 

[Sir Steve Howard]

Stern test today, Durham should declare before start but wouldn't surprise me if they came out and smashed 50+ off 5 overs to remove any chance of us winning.

Don't fancy our chances now they've got Potts back in the mix

[Voll Blau]

Free entry today.

 

For all the nonsense off the pitch right now, initiatives like the schools day yesterday are something I thought we (and other counties) should have been doing for a long time.

[when_you're_smiling]

What a start. Batting to save the game and you lose two wickets in the first over. That Budinger shot.

Anyone thinking of going down to the ground, better be quick as the game won't be lasting long by the looks of it. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Awful start, Raine is class isn't he

[Bert]

Going exactly how we all knew it would. 

[AjcW]

When is a road not a road....

 

When Leicestershire bat on it on Day 4....

[StanSP]

Bad light. Can it remain dark for another few hours... 

[LBTufty]

Mulder looks like he got a shocker of a decision from the ump, defeat closing in just when we looked good to hang on for the draw at 173/4.

[EastAnglianFox]

Any rain close by for those in the Shire??

 

8 down now

According to the weather there is rain around.

 

Excellent from Hanscomb, Ackermann and Mulder, who looked as if he got shafted by the umpire.

[EastAnglianFox]

Off for bad light/rain 

 

Handscomb take a bow

Quality from Handscomb to hang on there. Especially as he was running out of partners. 

 

Can't envisage they'll come back on now. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Cricket for the purist, crazy amount of runs, 6 centuries and a close finish.

[Voll Blau]

Another game where we've found a resilience we didn't have in previous seasons, despite all of the madness surrounding the club.

[MaidstoneFox]

In second place. Crazy as it may seem we could get promoted and lose half our side at the same time.

[Ted Maul]

Just had a look at a look at the table- Great to see us in the promotion places at this stage... but how have Sussex managed to take maximum bowling points and draw 7 out of 8 games?

[CrawlingFox]

Handscomb has been great for us.
